ON MARGINS OF GENERAL ASSEMBLY SUMMIT, BAN DISCUSSES SYRIA WITH ARAB
LEAGUE OFFICIALSNew York, Sep 22 2013 2:00PMSecretary-General Ban
Ki-moon today met with Nabil Elaraby, the head of the League of Arab
States, reiterating the need for a political solution to end the
ongoing conflict in Syria, and aid the people still trapped by the
fighting and those forced to flee.

"They stressed the need to end the bloodshed in Syria as soon as
possible, as well as to address the acute humanitarian needs there,"
according to a <"http://www.un.org/sg/offthecuff/index.asp?nid=2995">readout
of the meeting at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.

More than 100,000 people have died, 4.25 million people have been
displaced within the country, and at least another two million are
refugees since fighting began in March 2011 between the Syrian
Government and opposition groups seeking to oust President Bashar
Al-Assad.

Mr. Ban and the Joint Special Representative of the UN and the League
of Arab States, Lakhdar Brahimi, have repeatedly urged a political
solution to the conflict through a comprehensive agreement between the
Government and the opposition for the full implementation of the
Geneva communiqué of 30 June 2012.

The Syria conflict will be among the main topics of discussion at the
annual high-level General Assembly debate, which starts on Tuesday.

At today's meeting, Mr. Ban and Mr. Elaraby also discussed the
situation in Libya, as well as the Middle East peace process.

According to his spokesperson, Mr. Ban welcomed progress and
reaffirmed the importance of strengthening collaboration between the
UN and the Arab League.

The UN chief also met today with Sheikh Jaber Al Mubarak Al Hamad Al
Sabah of Kuwait, a member of the League of Arab States.

Mr. Ban <"http://www.un.org/sg/offthecuff/index.asp?nid=2998">thanked
the Prime Minister for Kuwait's generous humanitarian support to UN
efforts to assist Syrians.

The two officials also discussed the ongoing improvement of ties
between Kuwait and Iraq during their meeting.
